1.5 grams. Rome is about all I can get. Is this an obol?

    It looks to be a bronze of the 4th century - vota series.

    For some reason I enjoy ancients with earth clinging to them.

    It's an "URBS ROMA" issue from late in Constantine I's reign. 307-337 A.D.

    The obverse shows a helmeted bust of Roma facing left. Legend reads: VRBS ROMA
